Sage chuckled softly as she spoke, nodding along as he slid down to the floor. "I know," he sighed. "I just wish we lived in a world where we didn't have to," he noted simply, shrugging after a moment. "We'll get through it. We always do," he added, just letting his head tilt back and rest on her lap gently as she moved to tug his hair loose, a faint smile forming on his face. "Well good, because you might need to help me get up off the floor after this," he joked lightly. Really, he was glad to just close his eyes and rest there like this.

Mari furrowed her brows slightly at his comment, and sort of reached forwards to run her finger up the bridge of his nose and between his eyebrows. "Try not to think about it," she hummed softly, her fingers running into his hair as she started to figure out different plaits and such. "You know we'll all be okay - You, me, and the kids. They're smart enough not to let things get to them," she added, continuing just to mess around with his hair. She hoped it was the. She hoped they'd all be okay for a little while longer. She smiled softly at his joking, though. "I'll do you one better. I'll get you some blankets and pillows and we can camp out down here for the night," she mused.

Sage hummed softly when she spoke, closing his eyes as she ran her finger up his nose and then started playing around with his hair. It just felt nice, he supposed ....there was a familiarity with it all, one he hadn't been able to really find up until now. It was almost like nothing had happened. Almost. "Yeah," he agreed softly, a small smile curving his lips upwards. "They're smart enough to figure it out," he added fondly. They really were just the best kids. Of course, when she mentioned coming out, he couldn't help but laugh. "As much fun as that sounds, I only had my bed back for one night and I'm not too eager to let it go again any time soon," he noted with amusement.

Mari nodded softly when he mentioned them being smart enough. They were... they took after their father, and he had to be the smartest man she'd ever met. he could get himself out of anything. She sort of started plaiting his hair up, sort of practicing on him. She knew he liked it, so she could be as long as she was gentle with him. If she was really careful she could probably get him to fall asleep in her lap. "You were just trying to sleep with the horses," She mused softly to him, pecking the top of his head softly with an amused chuckle.
